Description

Franchise Expo West is returning to Los Angeles Convention Center on Nov. 2-4, 2017 after a 5 year absence. It is the main trade show for the entire West Coast.

Over the course of 3 days, attendees can opt to attend more than 60 free educational seminars and five in-depth workshops on a variety of topics such as “The A to Z’s of Buying a Franchise,” “How to Start a Business in Los Angeles,” “Franchising Your Business,” “Choosing the Right Franchise,” etc.

For as little as $10,000, aspiring entrepreneurs can get started in franchising. Just in time for Veterans Day, a special seminar hosted by VetFran titled “Opportunities for Veterans in Franchising” will encourage military veterans’ involvement in franchising, and exhibitors like Big Frog Custom T-Shirts, Dream Vacations, and Ziebart, who are actively engaged in veterans initiatives, will be present.

The top five franchise areas by established growth in 2017 include personal services, quick-service restaurants, full-service restaurants, retail products services, and business services – all of which will be represented at the expo. A number of program sponsors will be present to facilitate women and minority business ownership, such as PACE SBA Women’s Center and DiversityFran, which will host a diversity seminar, and IFA will host a women’s franchise ownership seminar.
